FANTASTIC FANTASY BOOKS TO READ!

                              

Fantasy genre is- let’s be honest here- the coolest of all the others. In my opinion at least. Admit it; there is something alluring about reading how different worlds function. Our world is big and has even bigger burdens and we often need a break from it. And that is when you know that you have to dive into a book. Or even better, a fantasy book! But if you are new to this genre or are simply looking for more books, I got it covered! Here’s a list of my five favourite fantasy books that I simply adore:

1) The Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

If you haven’t heard of Game of Thrones, you are most probably living under a rock. This book has all the fantasy elements and keeps you gripping the edge. The vocabulary is immaculate, and the descriptions are to the point. If this isn’t a great read, I don’t know what is!

Buy The Game of Thrones here.

2) Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb

This is an absolute masterpiece. Royals, assassins, and magic; what more could a fantasy lover like me ask for?

Buy Assassin's Apprentice here.

3) The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle

Well, well. What they say is true. Old is gold and this book is the entire dragon’s loot. Adventure and bravery weave into this poetical story. To put it in simple words, this book is close to many hearts.

Buy The Last Unicorn here. 

4) The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

A frozen, magical land beyond the wardrobe door. An evil Witch. Heroes embarking on adventures. This is one of those tales that is impossible to forget.

Buy The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe here.

5) A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

This tale is absolutely enchanting. It has a magic school. Like Hogwarts! It has a hero who is seduced by dark powers. And above all, it has wizards!

 Potterheads, this is for you!

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderley again… This famous line is of the book Rebecca- a beautifully spun romantic suspense that makes you dive right into the lovely, yet haunting, world of Manderley and its dead inhabitant- Rebecca. This book starts of with a dream that the narrator has about Manderley- her husband’s previous estate. Du Maurier describes Manderley in great detail- so much so that it feels real. This story is about a nameless young woman- our narrator- who marries Maxim de Winter, and subsequently becomes the mistress of Manderley. However, our narrator is young and is tortured by shyness and insecurity that is born of her own mind.   I found that this book focuses a lot on the first Mrs. de Winter- Rebecca- who haunts our narrator from the grave. Everywhere the second Mrs. de Winter looks, she finds the remnants of Rebecca. Our heroine paints an unrealistic image of Rebecca in her head- who was the perfect, beautiful wife and mistress of Manderley. "Reb...

How to write a novel?

Most novels, to my knowledge, are no less than 60,000 words. A daunting number, isn’t it? But there are many authors who write excellent novels of this length (if not more) and publish it in the market. The chief reason for their success is their determination, and of course, their hard work. While these two key factors play an important role, there are also a variety of tips and tricks that you might want to know while writing a novel. In this post, I will be sharing some of them. 1) Get an idea Yes, I know. This is the most obvious first step while writing basically anything. However, getting an idea isn’t that obvious or easy. In fact, I think it is harder than typing some sixty-thousand words. If you have an idea, you can proceed to the next step. But if you don’t, I have tips that can get you some: A) Observe: Creativity unlocks with observation. Look around you. Maybe you might find people you have some weird life experiences to share with you. Maybe your aunt might tel...
